Here is a nice community that keeps track of their bullshit

Here's a list of a few .ml communities and potential replacements:

• ask lemmy - !asklemmy@lemm.ee !asklemmy@sh.itjust.works
• linux - !linuxquestions@lemmy.zip !linux@linux.community !linux@programming.dev
• memes* - !memes@sopuli.xyz !memes@slrpnk.net !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone !memes@midwest.social
• programmer humor - !programmer_humor@programming.dev
• world news - !news@beehaw.org !globalnews@lemmy.zip
• technology - !technology@sh.itjust.works
• funny - !funny@sh.itjust.works
• ukraine - !ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Side note the main issue with .ml is transparency. It's fine if the admins of an instance implement whatever rules they want in their instance; however, once they start enforcing hidden rules disguised as violations of the listed rules, they're being liars and treating the users as stupid things to be herded, not as human beings.

EDIT: as people noticed I'm not including .world comms to not encourage even further concentration of activity into the largest instance. Decentralisation is important. Also I'm adding stuff that you guys suggest.

* for specialised memes, as the category is rather large:

• !science_memes@mander.xyz
• !reactionmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !mathmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !loweffortmemes@walledgarden.xyz
• !lotrmemes@midwest.social
• !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
• !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
• !fedimemes@feddit.uk

I feel like I'm missing something important here as a simple fediverse user. I don't really care about the politics, I just made an account during the first large Reddit exodus and choose an instance I thought would persist. I also made a second account on kbin.social, but it looks pretty dead as a project.

I never noticed anything described in this thread, but I'm subbed to many communities across the fediverse...

I see the liberals who got upset at bluesky being a "tankie echo chamber" are right at home on lemmy.world where they year for nothing but a Reddit 2.0 where 90% of the content is fed through a handful of professional content astroturfers or bot accounts linked to three-letter agencies.

I criticized the CCP on lemmy.ml and got called racist and got banned lmao

Edit: thank you for the link, Lazycog@sopuli.xyz!

I stand by every single comment that's been removed from this platform. Some of them were removed for good reason, one of them was a brain fart that I shouldn't have posted in the first place, but I'm happy to have y'all investigate my moderation history

ETA: If you read this, and then replied to a comment that's already been removed from a community I'm banned from, you're an idiot. I literally can't interact with you. Why not reply to this comment?

As long as it's not only lemmy.world communities you start growing. Centralization won't lead to good outcomes anywhere.

your "boycott" was already happening naturally because (ayk) lemmy.ml's mods are insufferable

Can someone inform me about what's wrong with lemmy.ml?

yes, please continue this trend isolating yourselves from the fediverse

lemmy.world is the most toxic instance and every insanely bloodthirsty, racist, misogynistic, or otherwise vile take seems to come from your lot

The irony of a community promoting socialism while also instabanning anyone for the slightest wiff of criticism is just chef's kiss peak representation of why their system is doomed.

If you can't withstand the slightest nudge of criticism how are you even going to attempt to provide a governance system based on any kind of economic directive? If Marx could see what you guys have become he'd personally wipe his ass with your lame ml instance
